Jürgen Klinsmann

world cup so the the whole mood in italy will be catastrophic the next couple of weeks for everybody no matter where you play what club you play for um but um i mean what i hope personally just hope is that you know better better now go through a bit of a shitty shitty period uh kind of prior to the world cup then during the world cup you know so so you got to figure out as hook says you got to figure out especially as a forward player you you you kind of give yourself a kick in the back

You know, you get angry with yourself, you get kind of aggressive, you know, so you show the aggressiveness also towards your opponents, which he did today.

And then you expect from yourself, you know, that you make the difference again, that you give some assists, that you score the one or the other goal, and you make your mark before you then come into camp for the World Cup.

And this is the reaction that everybody is hoping for from Christian, and he's absolutely capable to do that.

Well, I don't have any concerns because I'm not on the inside of things, you know.

Oh, Jörgen, come on.

This is something.

Nothing's perfect.

I'm not concerned about anything.

He's carefree.

Concerns are, you know, I mean...

I always come from a standpoint that a group of players have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to a World Cup.

Obviously, once he chose his 26, it's down to the 26 guys to go into this World Cup and it's their opportunity to rock it.

It's their opportunity to shine.

It's their opportunity to show the top five or top ten or whatever in the world who they are and what they are capable to do.

And I think there is a roster here in the United States that has the potential to really hurt big teams, big names in this tournament.

It will be very difficult.

It will be very hard.

It will be a nail biter for everyone, for them, for their families, for the coaches, obviously, and for all the fans.

And this only works at the end of the day.
